Some Odd Girl - Birthday Card "You deserve the ROYAL Treatment"

Hi guys! Sorry for the delays in posting. I got crafty the other night, did something I rarely do, and since then, this card has been on my desk.... 

So, for this card, my first stop was the layer with misting. I got some sequin scrap, and sprayed bronze perfect pearls through it, giving it the bubble look. I set it aside to dry, and coloured up "Royal" from Some Odd Girl, with my spectrum Noir Markers. I then layered up some paper from Teresa Collins (this is the boys range!) and doodled around the edges, I added the perfect pearls piece, which I stamped with the sentiment, and added it. Royal has been attached with dimensional adhesive, and I added a trio of rhinestones.

Here's the close up

I've also finally got my markers into a home, that they have been needing! I had them in a box, and their original packaging, yet the box was falling apart and the original packaging was looking wrong... So, I ducked in to Typo yesterday, and grabbed some of their Milk Crates. I was originally only going to get one, as they are usually about $25, but they were on sale for $10 each, so I grabbed the matching pair they had! Look how great they look, filled with my markers!

Scrapbooking yard photos of Sam

Hi guys! Another quick post before I head to bed! This time, I've got a scrapbook page I made tonight of my nephew Sam...

It's a fairly basic layout, with the polka dots masked using some sequin waste that my friend Michelle sent me , I've been looking for some of this for ages! I taped it down with a bunch of Washi Tape (this stuff is fabulous, because it peels right off!) and painted over it with some black crackle paint. While it was drying, I gathered the rest of my supplies, die cut my photos, and arranged them how I wanted them to appear on the page. I then sat them on the painted section (thinking it was dry) and then removed it to add another embellishment (the Kaisercraft Transparency) and smudged black paint in the middle of the cardstock! I stuck down all the embellishments and photos, then tried to come up with something to cover the smudge.... I thought about a big title, or more embellishments, but thought it looked a bit top heavy, so went with some ants rubons... Here is a close up

I'm entering this into the White With 1 Challenge - WHITE + MAPS + TRAVEL EMBELLISHMENTS. As the only scrapbooking I really do is of my niece and nephew, I had to think about this one for a little while... Then I remembered these pictures of Sam... I used pieces of Bo-Bunny world map patterned paper for a couple of the circles and the travel embellishments include a 'luggage tag', 'post card' and 'passport' stickers. I am also a member of the Facebook group - Crafty Crops! and their challenge was a sketch which I loosely based my layout on... 

Thanks for dropping by!
